I was addicted to heroin for 7 yrs and to get off they put me on methadone

Answered by a doctor

I was addicted to heroin for 7 yrs and to get off they put me on methadone. The methadone had worse withdrawal symptoms than the heroin and to me is more dangerous and addictive. Why do they get you off one drug to be put on another tht is ten times worse?
